     I am having trouble getting LaTeX to number the pages
the way that I want using the 'book' document style.  In
most books the very first page with printing on it is page
(i).  From that point on, page numbers continue (ii), (iii),
(iv), etc...  until the first page of the first chapter,
which is page (1).

In my document, the title page should be page (i), the table
of contents should be pages (ii) and (iii), the Preface
should be (iv), etc...

The problem is that when I use the \maketitle command, the
next page is automatically reset to (i), which is the table
of contents.  How do people usually get around this problem?
Is there a way to suppress the page renumbering by the
\maketitle command?

Please respond via E-mail.  Thanks for your help.
